Unapologetically ME

This one comes straight from the calisthenics park. While working out, I stumbled upon what I call The Formula of Life:Life = the amount of Love you have for it.This isn’t something I discovered , it’s been here from the very beginning. It’s what made the world itself: the Love of God through Jesus Christ. He is Love, and He is Life. The more we allow Him to live and work through us, the more alive we truly become.“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.’” — John 11:25“God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.” — 1 John 4:16Right now, our world is filled with darkness — wars, hunger, hate — and it can feel like we’re defeated. But we are not. Darkness has not overcome the Light.“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” — John 1:5The solution to all of this is simple: Love.“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” — John 13:34“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” — 1 Peter 4:8If we love one another the way we’re called to, we could never tolerate the atrocities we see today. To find life and live in peace again, we must love — deeply, selflessly, and unconditionally.So let’s love, and let’s speak love. For when love speaks, it speaks life.

Look, a couple months ago I let go of all my dreams, as they took up too much space in my life. They were occupying God's space in life. I was hyperfocused on chasing them to a point where I idolised them. Then, when I started university, I looked back at the things I had achieved and realised none of my achievements filled me the way I thought they would when I first started chasing after them. I reached a point in which I just didn’t know what my purpose was. You see, I knew God had put me in all those positions, but once I got there, I got so carried away with wanting to perform and reaching new heights that I forgot why I was there. Feeling really empty one day after Uni, I went on my knees and cried to God to reveal my purpose to me because I didn’t just want to archive for the sake of archiving. I refused to believe that there was no greater meaning to blessings in my life. The Lord answered my prayer and asked me to surrender my dreams, talent, and passions to him and just focus on my real purpose, which is to serve him. It was really hard to let go of my dreams because for years and years they had formed the core of my identity. But eventually I did let go and felt the most whole I have ever felt in my life. That I unsuccessfully tried to fill with my dreams was a God-sized whole, which only he could fill. And once I let him in, he filled me with his peace, love, and joy, to a point on which, regardless of having achieved something or not, I am the happiest I have ever been. This is all because the Lord revealed to me that neither my success nor my failures can add or take from who I am, because what I am is loved by him, and that will regardless of success or failure remain. One would maybe think that as a consequence of this I have achieved less, but the opposite is the case since I let go and let God, and my life has been overflowing with blessings in all areas. I passed all my exams in peace. Yes, I studied hard, but it didn’t feel hard because I let go and let God and did not study like my life depended on it, because it doesn’t. Knowing this gave me so much peace to a point where I could even study even more because I knew God was with me in it and helping me carry the load. And even when it comes to my ambition to revolutionise politics, the vision has never been this clear. In the past, I used to focus all my thought on how I could achieve that goal and spent hours and hours just researching but not really finding answers. But now that I spend most of my time praying, my mind has been overflowing with great ideas that the Lord gives me during prayer. This reminds me of when Jesus said, "If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it." ( Matthew 16:25)I held to my dreams and idolised them and almost lost them and myself in them, but once I let go and let God, I agained much more than the dreams I thought I had lost; I gained identity in him and, above all things, peace that surpasses all understanding.My appeal to you is that there should not be a thing in your life that you hold on to so much that you won’t let go of it for God. He is the one who gave you that dream, and he is the one who will make it happen. Stop trying to do it yourself. You can’t; he can. Let go and let God.Amen 

I started Unapologetically Me in 2021, with the mission, just like the name of the podcast says, to be unapologetically me. I have been very unapologetic about, about heritage dreams etc. However, I haven’t been unapologetic about what makes up the most of who I am, actually all that I am, my Christian faith. In this episode, I am going to do exactly that. I understand that many young believers struggle with talking about God openly and so did / do I that’s why it took me almost three years to record this episode. However, it is important that we are unapologetic in our faith, I will start. I am Takudzwa Samuriwo and I love Jesus.

I am not at my best right now. I can’t count the times I have used this as an excuse to pass out on an opportunity or for not putting in the work towards my goals. It almost cost me one of the biggest achievements of my life so far. But then I came to the realisation that life is not about being at your best all the time, but rather that giving it your all at all times is what takes us to our desired destination. When an opportunity presents itself, the question I ask myself now is not; Am I at best? I ask myself „ Am I willing to give it my all?“ It is easy to do things when we feel at our best, however more valuable than being at your best is the ability to sacrifice comfortability and apply yourself regardless of how you are feeling.

A lot of people fail to achieve their dreams because they think they're limited by their environment. This is often the consequence of people not realising that they are the main characters, and their for the determining factor in their own lives. In this episode I want to tackle exactly that false belief and help the listeners realise that they are the main characters and their lives and the determining factor in achieving their goals. I share my own experiences on the journey of adopting the " main Character Mindset" and how it has changed my perspective on challenges

There is a lot of negativity in the world right now. You turn on the news and you are flooded with news about death war etc. All this can make one feel powerless. However, even when we can’t change this on the grand scheme of things we can contribute in our own way to manifest the peace we want to see. Our power lays in the little things. Like being polite or treating each other with kindness. In a world that is a bit chaotic at the moment those little things go a long way. So, let us on a daily basis be the change we want to see.

In this every first episode of my new Series „What I love about Zimbabwe“, I am talking about the things I love about my beautiful home country with Takudzwa Samuriwo , aka my brother

After many years of fighting an inner conflict about Nelson Mandela, I finally came to peace. In this podcast I am going to talk about how my perspective on Mandela changed and my appeal to the African youth. Mandela, here is my apology!!!!

In unserer ersten Gastfolge reden wir mit Ferhad, der ein Buch über seine Flucht geschrieben hat. Sein Buch heißt “ Der Tag an dem meine Kindheit endete”, ich frage ihn nach seiner Motivation sein Buch zu schreiben und wie er mit schweren Schicksalsschlägen umgeht. Danke an Ferhad, dass er seine Geschichte mit uns geteilt hat. https://instagram.com/ferhad_official.7?utm_medium=copy_link

This is one of them talks. Initially started at self worth and ended up just recording myself Waffel about self love. I hope you enjoy the structureless inside to my mind.

In this episode I want talk about strength we find in being vulnerable. Often we are afraid to be vulnerable because we fear getting hurt and being seen as weak. But being vulnerable is actually a display of strength and honesty.

"Just be yourself". We all have gotten that advice at some point in our life, but what does it mean to be yourself? How do you figure out who you are? These are some of the questions i will try to answer in this episode.

This episode is about chasing our dreams and aims to inspire everyone to let go of excuses and finally start chasing their dream. We do not need other people's approval to chase our dreams, all we need is passion, discipline and the determination to make our dreams not just things we see at night, but to make them reality.

Thank you to everyone who found their way to my first episode. This is more of an introduction, in which I explain why I decided to start a podcast and why i chose the name" Unapologetically Me". I believe in 2022 we all should try to own ourselves to the fullest and not let tje fear of being judged stop us from following our dreams. We should just be ourselves and that unapologetically.
